cover entire city executive takes the first step to redeem his second cam pain pledge to create of the city a greater Chicago personnel of board to be known soom easy transportation with lines to all sections to be the ultimate object of the scheme now proposed council will get outline of work following the tube building mr harrison will take up harbor extension party's third promise to the people the first definite step toward the construction of chicago's long dreamed-of subway system will he taken this week when mayor carter h harrison will name the board of constructing engineers for the underground bore dirt should begin to fly before many months have passed thus the second great step in the fulfillment of the democratic party's campaign pledges will have been taken by mayor harrison the first pledge made good was the passage of the 70-cent gas ordi nance by the city council the second will be the beginning of operations in subway building the third according to a statement made by mayor harrison to aa ksaminer reporter last evening will be the building of an outer harbor for Chicago committee relies on mayor mayor harrison's determination to name without further delay the board of subway constructing engineers came yesterday when the commit tee on local transportation of the city council notified him that it would approve of his choice of engineers the mayor leaves for huron moun tain on saturday and the board of engineers will be named before he goes away ' . briefly this is the plan of subway operations as they will develop ini the next few months the engineers will be appointed there is an enormous amount of data already accumulated on the sub way problem there are at least three different sets of subway plans engineers to study data the board of engineers will digest this data in the next few months they will of necessary draw up subway plans of their own the board's plans will go to the local transportation committee then to the city council once adopted bids will be asked for and then digging will be begun the board of constructing engineers will be composed of practical men mayor harrison knows whom he will name he knows his men and he knows their views on the subway question he is desirous of having a final talk with each one of the three before he makes known the personnel of the new board the subway in the loop district will be the first that will be built mayor harrison made it plain last evening why such would be the case extensions from year to year then from year to year as the city's finances permit the different units that will go toward making a great and comprehensive subway plan for Chicago will be added to the unit in the loop and before many years have passed Chicago will have a subway system to be proud of this is to be one of the aims of mayor harrison's administration ahd is simply a fulfillment of what was promised the voters before ballots wer cast at the last election a distinct start toward a subway will have been taken with the nam ing of a board of constructing engineers said mayor harrison last evening the men i shall name will be men who have given much study to the subway problem as it exists in Chicago to-day and will be men who will push the project for all there is in it my idea is if posible to have the subway plans ready for presenta tion to the city council when sessions are resumed in the fall there will be no more delay things will move from this time out easy transportation for all the primary idea that the engineers will have in mind will be to make transportation easy for everyone in all parts of the city i want rapid communication with every part of the city opened up with every other part of the city i want the city's outlying business centers to be developed i would have citizens of south Chicago trade on milwaukee avenue and milwaukee avenue citizens trade in south Chicago if such a thing were possible and by this i mean that transportation should be so good that a citizen in widely separated sections of the city should be able to ride where they wish without delay the loop is the heart Chicago is peculiarly built in this respect the different arteries must radiate from the heart and this is one reason why i shall advocate that the loop subway be the first to be built but it will be only one of the units in the plan have money enough for work fc we have money enough on hand now to build the loop subway from year to year as the city's finances permit the different unites can be added until the plan is complete b the loop subway will not only relieve congestion in hie loop it wiub go much farther it will open up the different sections of the city an will bring them closer together than they ever have been before j cause the subway will afford a means of rapid and uninterrupted g munication between the different great divisions of the city t jp mayor harrison's outline for subway the naming of the board of constructing engineers for the subway will be a distinct step forward and will mean the early beginning of actual subway building i believe that the subway in the loop district should be built first it will be only one of a system of units in the comprehensive subway plans the loop is the heart the arteries will lead to this heart but the object of the subways in the loop first of all is not so much to relieve congestion there as it is to make transportation easy for every one in every part of the city i want rapid com munication opened up every where â€” so that every part of the city will have good transporta tion with every other part of the city the board of constructing subway engineers will be prac tical men they will be men who have given much thought to the subway question â€” mayor carter h harrison to

young man and re fused to let him preach in the laurel del church to which he had recently assigned him he found it convenient to close the church and to be ill so that the excuse of why the ceremony

we are all grateful that we found out in time to save margaret she's not feeling morose ino she isn't feeling morose about it or even depressed she has very good sense and she takes events as she

cover entire city executive takes the first step to redeem his second cam pain pledge to create of the city a greater Chicago personnel of board to be known soom easy transportation with lines to all sections to be the ultimate object of the scheme now proposed council will get outline of work following the tube building mr harrison will take up harbor extension party's third promise to the people the first definite step toward the construction of chicago's long dreamed-of subway system will he taken this week when mayor carter h harrison will name the board of constructing engineers for the underground bore dirt should begin to fly before many months have passed thus the second great step in the fulfillment of the democratic party's campaign pledges will have been taken by mayor harrison the first pledge made good was the passage of the 70-cent gas ordi nance by the city council the second will be the beginning of operations in subway building the third according to a statement made by mayor harrison to aa ksaminer reporter last evening will be the building of an outer harbor for Chicago committee relies on mayor mayor harrison's determination to name without further delay the board of subway constructing engineers came yesterday when the commit tee on local transportation of the city council notified him that it would approve of his choice of engineers the mayor leaves for huron moun tain on saturday and the board of engineers will be named before he goes away ' . briefly this is the plan of subway operations as they will develop ini the next few months the engineers will be appointed there is an enormous amount of data already accumulated on the sub way problem there are at least three different sets of subway plans engineers to study data the board of engineers will digest this data in the next few months they will of necessary draw up subway plans of their own the board's plans will go to the local transportation committee then to the city council once adopted bids will be asked for and then digging will be begun the board of constructing engineers will be composed of practical men mayor harrison knows whom he will name he knows his men and he knows their views on the subway question he is desirous of having a final talk with each one of the three before he makes known the personnel of the new board the subway in the loop district will be the first that will be built mayor harrison made it plain last evening why such would be the case extensions from year to year then from year to year as the city's finances permit the different units that will go toward making a great and comprehensive subway plan for Chicago will be added to the unit in the loop and before many years have passed Chicago will have a subway system to be proud of this is to be one of the aims of mayor harrison's administration ahd is simply a fulfillment of what was promised the voters before ballots wer cast at the last election a distinct start toward a subway will have been taken with the nam ing of a board of constructing engineers said mayor harrison last evening the men i shall name will be men who have given much study to the subway problem as it exists in Chicago to-day and will be men who will push the project for all there is in it my idea is if posible to have the subway plans ready for presenta tion to the city council when sessions are resumed in the fall there will be no more delay things will move from this time out easy transportation for all the primary idea that the engineers will have in mind will be to make transportation easy for everyone in all parts of the city i want rapid communication with every part of the city opened up with every other part of the city i want the city's outlying business centers to be developed i would have citizens of south Chicago trade on milwaukee avenue and milwaukee avenue citizens trade in south Chicago if such a thing were possible and by this i mean that transportation should be so good that a citizen in widely separated sections of the city should be able to ride where they wish without delay the loop is the heart Chicago is peculiarly built in this respect the different arteries must radiate from the heart and this is one reason why i shall advocate that the loop subway be the first to be built but it will be only one of the units in the plan have money enough for work fc we have money enough on hand now to build the loop subway from year to year as the city's finances permit the different unites can be added until the plan is complete b the loop subway will not only relieve congestion in hie loop it wiub go much farther it will open up the different sections of the city an will bring them closer together than they ever have been before j cause the subway will afford a means of rapid and uninterrupted g munication between the different great divisions of the city t jp mayor harrison's outline for subway the naming of the board of constructing engineers for the subway will be a distinct step forward and will mean the early beginning of actual subway building i believe that the subway in the loop district should be built first it will be only one of a system of units in the comprehensive subway plans the loop is the heart the arteries will lead to this heart but the object of the subways in the loop first of all is not so much to relieve congestion there as it is to make transportation easy for every one in every part of the city i want rapid com munication opened up every where â€” so that every part of the city will have good transporta tion with every other part of the city the board of constructing subway engineers will be prac tical men they will be men who have given much thought to the subway question â€” mayor carter h harrison to
